Yes because we all know how dinosaurs only had one skin color and didn't evolve to match their habitats at all.

Rode yesterday. What a shame. It shouldn't even be open. There was a tech guy outside the entrance with a bag of tools and he was talking with a CM. I asked him where the Ellen AA was and he just shrugged. The CM said "when the snake broke it caused the Ellen AA to break down also". The tech just nodded along. She also said the Ellen AA won't be coming back. Who knows.

Maybe the "won't be coming back" thing means something will actually be done with the ride? It's a longshot, I know.

YIKES. That's depressing. They have close this thing next year, they have to. But then again they've left it in disrepair for such a long time...there really is NO official talk of refurbing this?

The Universe of Energy is currently one of my favorite attractions in Epcot and is pretty much the only renovated Epcot Attraction I can stand. I have witnessed this park decline in quality and meaning as many of us have an remember the days when Disney wouldn't stand for kind of treatment of its attractions. While I love Ellen's Energy Adventure, I also love the original UoE, and would love to see a return to this attraction with updated films (keep the theme music from 1982-1996) no Ellen AA necessary! Just fix the elasomasauris. I know this is highly unrealistic but I often think about simple this conversion could be.

I totally agree. The original attraction was awesome, and the musical score was amazing too. I think Ellen's Energy Adventure was a worthy replacement, also with a great musical score, but if they can make it up to date all while sticking to the overall theme we all would be happy. It just seems like it is in so much disrepair that a total overhaul is inevitable. I think this is something that really needs the spruce up. A 45 minute ride is a lot to ask. I love the attraction, but after a day of running around the parks, I'm always struggling to stay awake during some of it.
